In boostmath: 'R' Bindings for the 'Boost' Math Functions

Empirical Cumulative Distribution Function (ECDF)

Description

Create an empirical cumulative distribution function (ECDF) from a given vector.

Usage

empirical_cumulative_distribution_function(data, sorted = FALSE)

Arguments

data	A numeric vector of data points.
sorted	A logical indicating whether the data is already sorted. Default is FALSE.

Value

An object representing the ECDF, with member function ⁠$ecdf(x)⁠ to evaluate the ECDF at point(s) x.

Examples

data <- c(1.2, 2.3, 3.1, 4.5, 5.0)
ecdf_obj <- empirical_cumulative_distribution_function(data)
ecdf_obj$ecdf(3.0)  # Evaluate ECDF at x = 3.0
